Giving back to the place we call home
For us, home is where the helping hands are
Blue KC is ingrained in the Kansas City community. As the only not-for-profit commercial health insurer in Kansas City, we focus on investing where our employees and members live, work and play. That is why Blue KC contributes to non-profit organizations across our region. It’s part of our community investment strategy and rooted in our corporate culture.
If you are part of a non-profit focused on health and wellness initiatives in the region, apply for charitable funding consideration today.

Food for Good
Food: More than fuel for our bodies
What we eat affects our overall health and well-being. It’s why Blue KC partners with local agencies to provide access to food for underserved communities. It’s also what drives us to research and publish an ongoing stream of healthy eating articles and recipes through our Food for Good initiative.
